Dear Ms. Daniel,

NASA's Interdisciplinary National Science Program Incorporating Research
and
Education Experience, or INSPIRE will be accepting applications again
beginning today, May 1, 2009 through June 30, 2009.  This program
encourages
the next generation of explorers from the 9th through 12th grade to
pursue
an education and career in the sciences, technology, engineering and
mathematics (STEM) fields.

The centerpiece of INSPIRE is the Online Learning Community (OLC) where
students can interact with peers, NASA experts and education
specialists. It
also provides grade-level educational activities, chats and a discussion
board, allowing students and their families to explore the many careers
and
opportunities at NASA.  As a member of the OLC, students may compete for
the
following years' summer STEM experiences.

NASA is trying to publicize this opportunity to as many interested
students
as possible.  As an Education Specialist with the project and a former
classroom teacher, I am contacting you for your assistance.  If you
would,
please distribute the attached INSPIRE informational flyer to your
network
of teachers or any student organizations that may be interested in this
opportunity. We want to reach as many students as possible!

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at (661)
276-2027
or by email: beth.a.white at okstate.edu.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Sincerely, 

Beth A. White
